Please note:
1. Rev. Robert and his family are on holiday for August; please keep them in your prayers, that they will be refreshed by their time away.
2. St. Cyprian's parish is gathering in the church for a service today -- for the first time in 16 months. Please pray for safety, good health and understanding for all those participating. Some, for medical reasons, are unable to be protected by the available COVID vaccines, and will need particular support and understanding. Thank you.

As far as is known, there will be music, but no congregational singing. Rev. Robert is on vacation in August; no services have yet been planned for this period. It is hoped that in-person, in-church services can resume in September. Stay tuned!

A request for prayer: former parishioner and friend of St. Cyprian's, Sandra Pyper, has been moved into Point West Living Centre in Red Deer, until a place can be found for her that is closer to Olds. Please pray for comfort, safety and well-being for Sandra and Gerry, as they enter into this transition time. Thank you.
